Focus Industry ENERGY MANAGEMENT | 03/09 | ® How does the standard development process work? Rob Steele: ISO standards are developed within technical committees or subcommittees dedicated to a specific technology or industry sector by national delegations of experts from countries interested in the work. When consensus is reached on the content of the standard, it is circulated to ISO’s worldwide membership for balloting and comment, first as a draft, then a final draft, before publication as an International Standards. The first meeting of PC 242 was held on September 8–10, 2008 in Washington, DC. As part of the proceedings, delegates described various national or organizational initiatives in detail. For example, a presentation was given by UNIDO on the preparatory work the organization has carried out to support the ISO process by researching energy management needs in developing countries. This gave PC 242 an insight into the different policies and situations around the world, which need to be taken into account in the development of a globally relevant International Standard for energy management. Excellent progress was made in the technical discussions and a first working draft has already been created. Publication of ISO 50001 is targeted by the end of 2010. Tell me a little about PC 242. What is the purpose of the PC? Who chairs the group? Where and when do they meet? Rob Steele: “PC” stands for “Project Committee” which works like a technical committee but is established to focus on a single standard and disbanded once its work is finished. PC 242, Energy Management, was specifically set up to develop ISO 50001. It has a twinned secretariat from a developed country and a developing country provided by, namely, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and ISO’s national member for Brazil, Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas (ABNT).
